Who were the best asian players in the last 20 years?!

After reading the discussion about if Son or Azmoun is better. I was thinking which players were overall the best players in Asia in the last 20 years? Ofc Iranian and also other nations!
Make a TOP10 list so we can see

Its tough to say because there is a lot up for debate.
Korea: Son and Ji Sung Park stand out near the top
Japan: Nakamura, kagawa, honda, nakata, okazaki
Iran: Mehdi Mahdavikia, Nekounam, Hashemian, Ali karimi, Ali daei (stricly for his international record). Azmoun to be seen. Iran has a knack for making very techinically gifted players, but not as much tactically. EDIT- this doesn't hold true for all, but I feel we would have more players in the top leagues if this were true.
Oman: Ali Al habsi
Australia: Arguably had the most skilled players in the early half of the 2000's. Viduka, Kewell, Bosnic, Cahill, Lazaridis, Jedinak
Saudi Arabia: lmao
